no - it's not broken.

I just didn't include - characters in the query string.

why the hell do websites feel the need to put stupid characters in their query string? sheesh

Ok ... I have restarted my computer and to much of my disappointment ...

... messenger is called up again as soon as I get here !!!

I guess the only viable solution is to take that stupid .exe file and teach it how to behave in this world !!!

To get rid of messenger it is easy...

Open up a run box and type this in there.

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Hit Enter and....

It will uninstall MSN Messenger

MY GOD !! Nemesis .... it works !!!

THANKS MAN !!!!!!

Happy, happy, happiness !!!

Hey Nemesis ... how come your avatar image changes each time the browser loads your messages ?? ??

You have got some strange PRO features ??

Oh good, now we can blame Microsoft for braking the autolinking.

I will file the Class Action Suit

No Problem on that Messenger dilly, You got anymore problems on XP let me know, I can almost find a fix for everything.

I am using an avatar scripit I made that changes the images everytime you view a board. Very simple scripit.

If you have strange charecters in a URL and you know it, why don't you just stick it in some URL brackets? If you are a forum admin/moderator you can always edit the messager a person posts and put it in for them. Only takes a second.

Odd, my notifications on this thread died...

Anyways, I disabled Messenger in gpedit.msc

Interesting side effect...  Microsoft Outlook Express would no longer work...

Last time I mess with Messenger...

[phark]

I disabled Messenger using RunDll32 and everything is working fine, my notifications and my Outlook (not Express).  

[Nemesis]

Did you try my fix? It just uninstalls messanger, outlook will still work.

[Golden Tiger]

How to do what I said above...

In XP Professional only...

Go to Start, Run, type in gpedit.msc
hit ok, a new window should appear
Go to Local Computer Policy; Computer Configuration
Click on the plus beside Administrative Templates then Windows Components
Click on the Windows Messenger folder
Double click on the "Do not allow Windows Messenger to be run" option in the right paine.  Click enable, then ok, then close the program

There you go.  This modification may kill Windows Messenger, but it makes Outlook Express take 5 minutes to start, and generally 5 minutes to do the easiest things (on my AMD K6-3 400 Mhz.), so enable at own risk.

To undue this modification, follow all steps above, except set the option to "Not Configured"

I confirm ... Outlook and Outlook Express working !

I confirm ... Nemesis is a PRO !

 

[phark]

Yes, he is a PRO!  

But wait...  

I tried the GPEDIT at first and noticed that IE6 was SLOW... it was not even acceptable.  

I then used the RunDll32 and that made things a little better.

Final test:  I went back into GPEDIT and switched my settings back to "Not Configured".

Result:  ITS FIXED!!  Its fast again and I do not have Messenger!

Keep it going, we are almost at 10,000 times read

[powergen]

eeheh, Engineer ... ok !

But we are just here all together awaiting the 1.3 ... sooo ....

I don't know anything of the Yabb SE development project apart from this posta and all the info contained BUT basing on my guess ... I would say that if no other bugs are found ... it will be out before the end of the week .... or at max by the end of the week ...

 


Yes, I know ... I'm really anxious about it ...
